    20mA RCD for sockets

    So it turns out NwR have a specific standard stating that all socket circuits must be protected by a 20mA RCD.  What do you lot think about this?  What is the point?  Do you think a 20mA RCD would comply with the regulation for limiting disruption?

    Nice bit of kit.  Not sure why it is upside down.

    Windows

    Yes. Just behind a 5WW thread for getting those angers up is a thread about Windows. Temper lost - restore to factory settings started. 1 hour later and 8% completed and now calm wondering what I have done.  :popcorn

    Limp tail?

    My 13 month old Rottweiler has developed a limp tail. It does not do anything. When he sits he also sits slightly to one side. Noticed it yesterday.  Anything to worry about?

    National Asbestos Awareness Week

    The JIB have published a video that really hits home into the dangers of asbestos.  This is still one of the biggest killers of electricians.

    Photos

    I have searched for the feedback section but can not find it.  Uploading photos to on here is a right rigmarole. The max file size is no where near what it should be to upload photos of any real quality. Plus I really do not fancy going through the motion of re-sizing all the photos just so I...

    Dunblane

    Watching the documentary now. I was 13 when this happened. I can sort of remember it.  Now I am a father I can only watch in sadness. But happy that my son will grow up in a country that has never had legalised hand guns in his life time.  So I am sitting here now, thinking of what those poor...

    Dual Feeder

    Came across a sub-main circuit the other day that was an MCCB panel board being fed from another MCCB panel board by two separate SWA cables. Both were connected the same and were the same size.  Anyone come across this?  If so, what is the reason behind it?  Is it acceptable?

    Amtech Office Pro

    So purchased this this week. A few issues with the installation but the tech support logged into my system and sorted it with no problems.  Started lmy first design using this software today. Nice and easy one to start with. I must admit I found it very user friendly. So far so good.

    The Great 'British' Suit

    Another one for you environmental types. Think twice before you purchase you next British suit. Or any of your clothes come to think about it.  I wonder how many of you check where your clothes are made?

    Terrible news this morning that Sir Terry Wogan has died of cancer.  Truely a legend in the British showbusiness world and a national treasure.  The work he has done with Children in Need always simply amazing.  RIP.

    Ford Transit Connect

    So had injector 4 replaced about 6 months ago as it was playing up. Same fault code occured 3 weeks ago. Multiple RAC visits and in the end had to take it to Fords.  Fords told me they had to plug it into their diagnostics machine at a cost of £95 because the 3 I had done by the RAC were not...
